Two-dimensional layered materials including graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides are identified as promising candidates for various electronic and optoelectronic applications. Due to the weak coupling between individual layers, large contact resistances are frequently found and dominate the performance of lay…
Nonfouling surfaces are essential for many biomedical applications, such as diagnostic biosensors and blood- or tissue-contacting implants. In this study, we demonstrate a simple one-step method to introduce dextran onto various substrates based on dopamine polymerization. It has been shown for the first time that dex…
In this work, we report on efficient visible and near-IR upconversion emissions in colloidal hexagonal-phase core/shell NaYF4:Er(3+)/NaYF4 nanoparticles (∼38 nm) under IR laser excitation at 1523 nm. Varying amounts of Er(3+) dopants were introduced into the core NaYF4:Er(3+) nanoparticles, revealing an optimized Er(3…
This article summarizes recent progress in the post-functionalization of conjugated polymers by electrochemical methods. These electrochemical polymer reactions typically proceed via electrochemical doping of a conjugated polymer film, followed by chemical transformation. Examples include the quantitative oxidative fl…
ABSTRACT In this article, we have studied the effect of microcapsule shell material on the mechanical behavior of self‐healing epoxy composites. Liquid epoxy healant was encapsulated in melamine‐formaldehyde (MF) and urea‐formaldehyde (UF), using emulsion polymerization technique to prepare microcapsules of different…
Localized surface plasmons (SPs), that is, charge density oscillations in metallic nanostructures often excited by coupling to electromagnetic radiation, have been widely studied for use in sensing applications. Here we present recent work from our group related to several major issues in the field, which have not bee…
Despite much progress in functionalized gold nanomaterial (GNMs), chemiluminescent (CL) functionalized GNMs with high CL efficiency are far from fully developed. In this work, we report a general strategy for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) bifunctionalized by CL reagent and catalyst metal complexes (BF-GNP…
The evolutionary origin of modern viscid silk orb webs from ancient cribellate silk ancestors is associated with a 95% increase in diversity of orb-weaving spiders, and their dominance as predators of flying insects, yet the transition's mechanistic basis is an evolutionary puzzle. Ancient cribellate silk is a dry adh…
Heterostructured oxides have shown unusual electrochemical properties including enhanced catalytic activity, ion transport, and stability. In particular, it has been shown recently that the activity of oxygen electrocatalysis on the Ruddlesden-Popper/perovskite (La1-ySry)2CoO4±δ/La1-xSrxCoO3-δ heterostructure is remar…
This Paper reports the first examples of O-P-O bridged Mn2(salen)2 (salen = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) chain compounds, namely, [Mn2(salen)2(2-FC6H4PO3H)](ClO4)·1/2CH3OH (1) and [Mn2(salen)2(4-FC6H4PO3H)](ClO4) (2). The phosphonate ligands adopt a syn-anti bidentate bridging mode in 1 and a syn-syn bidenta…
We present a new type of electrochemical supercapacitors based on graphene nanowires. Graphene oxide (GO)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanowires are prepared via electrodepostion of GO/PPy composite into a micoroporous Al2O3 template, followed by the removal of template. PPy is electrochemically doped by oxygen-containing functi…
We provide molecular-dynamics simulation of heat transport in one-dimensional molecular chains with different interparticle pair potentials. We show that the thermal conductivity is finite in the thermodynamic limit in chains with the potentials that allow for bond dissociation. The Lennard-Jones, Morse, and Coulomb p…
In this study, a large-area superhydrophobic alumina surface with a series of superior properties was fabricated via an economical, simple, and highly effective one-step anodization process, and subsequently modified with low-surface-energy film. The effects of the anodization parameters including electrochemical anod…
Polymers with hydrogen-bonding groups in the melt state often combine the ability to form specific supramolecular bonds with a tendency for unspecific aggregation and microphase separation. Using a combination of small-angle X-ray scattering and shear spectroscopy, we present a study of structure formation and rheolog…
Titania nanostructured materials have been used extensively for the fabrication of electrochemical capacitors. However, the devices typically exhibit relatively low capacitance and poor cycling stability. Herein, we report the synthesis of a core-shell heterostructure based on layered titanate nanowires coated with ni…
Noncovalent π⋅⋅⋅π interactions between graphene and aromatic molecules have been studied by using density functional theory with empirical dispersion correction (ωB97X-D) combined with zeroth-order symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT0). Excellent agreement of the interaction energies computed by means of ωB97X-…
Using density functional theory calculations, we have investigated the mechanical properties and strain effects on the electronic structure and transport properties of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanotubes. At a similar diameter, an armchair nanotube has a higher Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio than its zigzag cou…
We show that quasi localized low-frequency modes in the vibrational spectrum can be used to construct soft spots, or regions vulnerable to rearrangement, which serve as a universal tool for the identification of flow defects in solids. We show that soft spots not only encode spatial information, via their location, bu…
The interplay of light and magnetism has been a topic of interest since the original observations of Faraday and Kerr where magnetic materials affect the light polarization. While these effects have historically been exploited to use light as a probe of magnetic materials there is increasing research on using polarize…
Efficient delivery of DNA‐toxin anticancer drugs into nucleus of targeted tumor cells while simultaneously minimizing the side effects to normal tissue is a major challenge for cancer therapy. Herein, a multistage continuous targeting strategy based on magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles to overcome the challenge…
